Muhlhausen in Thuringia: Sights, half-timbered houses & Enjoyment

Posted on by

In the last few years I like to travel to small towns and still rather unknown regions in Germany. I have actually developed a special fondness for sweet half-timbered houses. There are perhaps even more of these pitoresque, relaxed and, above all, historic towns in Germany than you might now think.

Brazil: Our tips for Sao Paulo and why we advise against online bus bookings

Posted on by

We didn't really remember much more than "Oi" ("Hello"). But since very few people in Brazil speak English, I had to use my brain to get us through the country. But I already told you about this and about our first challenges in Sao Paulo. And also from our first impression of the city: namely that it is not really beautiful.
